NALC Meeting 4

The next session was at 11 a.m. on October 27 at NALC Nashville. I was excited form the beginning of the lesson because my student brought a list of words to go over and pronounce. Her pseudonym is Emily. I was about to read many lesson stories with her talking about the different holidays. Since the lesson plans were encompassing upcoming events in United States society, I think she benefited greatly from the session because she is formerly from Asia. This session was the most compelling because I was able to help her the most with her pronunciation on certain "I" words depending upon if it was long or soft. It was very interesting that certain terms she would pronounce them as "ing" when there was no "g." An example is with the word "thin" compared to "thing." Overall, her energy lifted the session. I was able to laugh able certain concepts when I tried for explain fundamental ideas such as laughing, scary, and upset. It was funny to act out these terms with her. We created a list for the next session and worked on more pronunciation.
